307b1dc148 Split up error_util.m into five modules.
compiler/error_spec.m:
    This new module contains the part of the old error_util.m that defines
    the error_spec type, and some functions that can help construct pieces
    of error_specs. Most modules of the compiler that deal with errors
    will need to import only this part of the old error_util.m.

    This change also renames the format_component type to format_piece,
    which matches our long-standing naming convention for variables containing
    (lists of) values of this type.

compiler/write_error_spec.m:
    This new module contains the part of the old error_util.m that
    writes out error specs, and converts them to strings.

    This diff marks as obsolete the versions of predicates that
    write out error specs to the current output stream, without
    *explicitly* specifying the intended stream.

compiler/error_sort.m:
    This new module contains the part of the old error_util.m that
    sorts lists of error specs and error msgs.

compiler/error_type_util.m:
    This new module contains the part of the old error_util.m that
    convert types to format_pieces that generate readable output.

compiler/parse_tree.m:
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html:
    Include and document the new modules.

compiler/error_util.m:
    The code remaining in the original error_util.m consists of
    general utility predicates and functions that don't fit into
    any of the modules above.

    Delete an unneeded pair of I/O states from the argument list
    of a predicate.

compiler/file_util.m:
    Move the unable_to_open_file predicate here from error_util.m,
    since it belongs here. Mark another predicate that writes
    to the current output stream as obsolete.

compiler/hlds_error_util.m:
    Mark two predicates that wrote out error_spec to the current output
    stream as obsolete, and add versions that take an explicit output stream.

compiler/Mercury.options:
    Compile the modules that call the newly obsoleted predicates
    with --no-warn-obsolete, for the time being.

compiler/*.m:
    Conform to the changes above, mostly by updating import_module
    declarations, and renaming format_component to format_piece.

ea4f95a7ed Use var_tables in lco.m, and when dumping goals.
Since this is the first converted module that dumps out goals when
debugging trace flags are enabled, this required generalizing the code
that does that, to take either varsets or var_tables as a means of
specifying the names of variables. We do this via a new type,
var_name_source, which contains either a varset or a var_table.

Almost all of this diff is there to implement this generalization.
A large part of it affects code in the parse_tree package that we use
to write out the parts of HLDS goals that are defined by types defined
in that package. Since we want to avoid making any part of the parse_tree
package dependent on the hlds package, this required defining the
var_name_source type in the parse_tree package, which in turn requires
var_table.m to be in that same package.

compiler/lco.m:
    Convert this module to use var_tables instead of varsets and vartypes.

compiler/var_table.m:
    Move this module from the hlds package to the parse_tree package.

    To make this, possible, move the parts that required access to the HLDS
    to hlds_pred.m, from where it was usually invoked.

    Export some utility predicates to allow the moved code to work
    in hlds_pred.m without access to the actual definition of the
    var_table type.

    Define the var_name_source type.

    Add some utility functions for use by code writing out variable names.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    Add the code moved from var_table.m.

compiler/vartypes.m:
    Move this module from the hlds package to the parse_tree package,
    for symmetry with var_table.m. It did not depend on being in hlds
    in any way.

compiler/hlds.m:
compiler/parse_tree.m:
    Move vartypes.m and var_table.m from the hlds package
    to the parse_tree package.

compiler/hlds_out_goal.m:
    Change all the predicates in this module to take a var_name_source
    instead of a prog_varset.

    Fix some comments.

compiler/hlds_out_util.m:
    Change some of the predicates in this module (those called from
    hlds_out_goal.m) to take a var_name_source instead of a prog_varset.

compiler/parse_tree_out_term.m:
    Provide variants of some existing predicates and functions that take
    var_name_sources instead of varsets. The code of the copies
    duplicates the logic of the originals, though I hope that this
    duplication can be done away with at the end of the transition.
    (The best solution would be to use a typeclass with methods
    that convert vars to their names, but we would want to ensure
    that the compiler can specialize all the affected predicates
    and functions to the two instances of this typeclass, which is
    something that we cannot do yet. In the meantime, the lack of
    any generalization in the old versions preserves their performance.)

tools/sort_imports:
tools/filter_sort_imports:
    A new tool that automatically sorts any occurrences of consecutive
    ":- import_module" declarations in the named files. The sorting is done
    in filter_sort_imports; sort_imports loops over the named files.

    After automatically replacing all occurrences of hlds.{vartypes,var_table}
    in import_module declarations with their parse_tree versions, the updated
    import_module declarations were usually out of order with respect to
    their neighbours. I used this script to fix that, and some earlier
    out-of-order imports.

206cc8503b Revisit valid vs all proc_ids in a pred_info.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    We have several predicates that retrieve selected subsets of all
    the proc_ids in a pred_info. For those that retrieve the proc_ids
    of only valid procedures, put "valid" into their names.

    Fix a bug in the implementation of pred_info_all_non_imported_proc_ids,
    which, despite its name, used to return the proc_ids of only the
    *valid* non-imported procedures.

    The distinction between all procedures and only valid procedures
    only really matters between mode analysis and the end of the front end.
    A procedure is valid if it has no mode errors, so before mode analysis,
    all procedures are valid by default, and if any procedure has any
    mode errors, the compiler should terminate after the front end is done.

    However, the distinction matters for readability, so this diff changes
    things so that we get all proc_ids in code executed before mode analysis,
    and valid proc_ids after the front end, with calls handled on a case-by-
    case basis in between.

    The distinction also matters in the presence of errors. For example,
    we shouldn't tell users that a predicate has no modes when it has
    modes that all happen to be invalid, and we should dump procedures
    into .hlds_dump files even if they are invalid, since their invalidity
    may be exactly what the user is trying to debug.

    Instead of representing the list of clauses as either a forward list,

    the previous representation, but unlike the previous representation,
    the flattened version can be appended to again, and it never duplicates
    the list.

    for getting just the first clause, for use in different circumstances.

efb56544ed Speed up pred_info's setter predicates a bit.
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
    If the new value of a field of pred_info is likely to be bit-identical

    structure that is guaranteed to be the same as the old one.

    By avoiding unnecessary memory turnover, this speeds up the compiler a bit,
    though I cannot nail down by how much. I measured it several times, with
    the results being no change, a speedup of 1%, and a speedup of 2%.

    Remove the unused setter predicate for the attributes field.

b86f973fa9 Allow the use of Mercury abstract machine float registers for passing
Branches: main

Allow the use of Mercury abstract machine float registers for passing
double-precision float arguments in higher order calls.

In of itself this is not so useful for typical Mercury code.  However, as
all non-local procedures are potentially the targets of higher order calls,
without this change first order calls to non-local procedures could not use
float registers either.  That is the actual motivation for this change.

The basic mechanism is straightforward.  As before, do_call_closure_* is
invoked to place the closure's hidden arguments into r1, ..., rN, and extra
input arguments shifted into rN+1, etc.  With float registers, extra input
arguments may also be in f1, f2, etc. and the closure may also have hidden
float arguments.  Optimising for calls, we order the closure's hidden
arguments so that all float register arguments come after all regular
register arguments in the vector.  Having the arguments out of order does
complicate code which needs to deconstruct closures, but that is not so
important.

Polymorphism complicates things.  A closure with type pred(float) may be
passed to a procedure expecting pred(T).  Due to the `float' argument type,
the closure expects its argument in a float register.  But when passed to the
procedure, the polymorphic argument type means it would be called with the
argument in a regular register.

Higher-order insts already contain information about the calling convention,
without which a higher-order term cannot be called.  We extend higher-order
insts to include information about the register class required for each
argument.  For example, we can distinguish between:

	pred(in) is semidet /* arg regs: [reg_f] */
and
	pred(in) is semidet /* arg regs: [reg_r] */

Using this information, we can create a wrapper around a higher-order
variable if it appears in a context requiring a different calling convention.
We do this in a new HLDS pass, called float_regs.m.

Note: Mercury code has a tendency to lose insts for higher-order terms, then
"recover" them by hacky means.  The float_regs pass depends on higher-order
insts; it is impossible to create a wrapper for a procedure without knowing
how to call it.  The float_regs pass will report errors which we otherwise
accepted, due to higher-order insts being unavailable.  It should be possible
for the user to adjust the code to satisfy the pass, though the user may not
understand why it should be necessary.  In most cases, it probably really
*is* unnecessary.  We may be able to make the float_regs pass more tolerant
of missing higher-order insts in the future.

Class method calls do not use float registers because I didn't want to deal
with them yet.


compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
	Always enable float registers in low-level C grades when floats are
	wider than a word.

compiler/make_hlds_passes.m:
	Always allow double word floats to be stored unboxed in cells on C
	grades.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:

	to use for each argument.  This is set by the float_regs pass.

	Add an extra field to `pred_inst_info' which records the register class
	to use for each argument.  This is set by the float_regs pass.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add a field to `proc_sub_info' which lists the headvars which must be
	passed via regular registers despite their types.

	Add a field to `pred_sub_info' to record the original unsubstituted
	argument types for instance method predicates.

compiler/check_typeclass.m:
	In the pred_info of an instance method predicate, record the original
	argument types before substituting the type variables for the instance.

compiler/float_regs.m:
compiler/transform_hlds.m:
	Add the new HLDS pass.

compiler/mercury_compile_middle_passes.m:
	Run the new pass if float registers are enabled.

compiler/lambda.m:
	Export the predicate to produce a predicate from a lambda.
	This is reused by float_regs.m to create wrapper closures.

	Add an argument to `expand_lambda' to set the reg_r_headvars field on
	the newly created procedure.

	Delete some unused fields from `lambda_info'.

compiler/arg_info.m:
	Make `generate_proc_arg_info' no longer always use regular registers
	for calls to exported procedures.  Do always use regular registers for
	class methods calls.

	Add a version of `make_arg_infos' which takes an explicit list of
	argument registers.  Rename the previous version.

	Add `generic_call_arg_reg_types' to return the argument registers
	for a generic call.

	Add a version of `compute_in_and_out_vars' which additionally separates
	arguments for float and regular registers.

compiler/call_gen.m:
	Use float registers for argument passing in higher-order calls, as
	directed by the new field in `generic_call'.

compiler/code_util.m:
	Add a function to encode the number of regular and float register
	arguments when making a higher-order call.

compiler/llds.m:
	Say that the `do_call_closure_N' functions only work for zero float
	register arguments.

compiler/follow_vars.m:
compiler/interval.m:
	Account for the use of float registers by generic call goals in these
	passes.

compiler/unify_gen.m:
	Move float register arguments to the end of a closure's hidden
	arguments vector, after regular register arguments.

	Count hidden regular and float register arguments separately, but
	encode them in the same word in the closure.  This is preferable to
	using two words because it reduces the differences between grades
	with and without float registers present.

	Disable generating code which creates a closure from an existing
	closure, if float registers exist.  That code does not understand the
	reordered hidden arguments vector yet.

compiler/continuation_info.m:
	Replace an argument's type_info in the closure layout if the argument
	is a float *and* is passed via a regular register, when floats are
	normally passed via float registers.  Instead, give it the type_info
	for `private_builtin.float_box'.

	Add function to return the type of `private_builtin.float_box/0'.

compiler/hlds_out_goal.m:

Estimated hours taken: 12
Branches: main

Switch from using set(prog_var), which is represented using set_ordlist,
to set_of_progvar, which is represented using tree_bitset, for most sets
of variables in the compiler, including the nonlocals sets in goal_infos.

This diff yields about a 5% speedup when compiling the training_cars_full.m
stress test, but also about a 1% slowdown on tools/speedtest. Both of these
are with the current default state in which tree_bitset is compiled with
a whole bunch of sanity checks. If these are disabled, we get roughly a 1%
speedup on tools/speedtest. I intend to disable those sanity checks after
a shakedown period of a week or two in which the updated version of the
compiler is installed on our platforms.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Replace almost all occurrences of set(prog_var) with set_of_progvar.
	The main exceptions are the types supporting rbmm.

	but not yet on set_of_vars.

b3fa535100 A rewrite of the state variable transformation from the ground up.
Estimated hours taken: 60
Branches: main

A rewrite of the state variable transformation from the ground up.

The initial aim was to avoid situations (encountered in the g12 project)
in which the old state variable transformation generated code that
did not satisfy the mode checker, due to unnecessary unifications.
The new system tries hard to minimize the number of unifications added to the
program. It does this by relying extensively on the idea that in a branched
structure such as an disjunction, if two branches both update the same state
variable, and the variables representing the last state of the state variable
in the two branches are (say) X and Y, and we pick X to represent the current
state after the disjunction, then we don't have to put the assignment X := Y
into the second branch; instead, we can RENAME Y to X in that branch.
To avoid renaming a goal several times (for itself, for its parent, for its
grandparent etc), we delay all renamings until the end, when we do it all
in one traversal.

The old state var system was opaque and hard to understand, partly because
its basic operations did different things in different contexts. The new system
is a much more direct expression of the intuitive meaning of state variables;
it keeps track of their state much as the programmer writing the original code
would. It should therefore be significantly easier to understand and to modify
in the future.

The new system can also detect more kinds of errors in the use of state
variables. For example it can discover that some branches of a disjunction or
if-then-else set the initial value of a state variable and some do not.
This is ok if the non-setting-branch cannot succeed; if it can, then it is
a bug. We therefore generate messages about such branches, but print them
only if mode analysis finds a bug in the procedure, since in that case,
the lack of initialization may be the cause of the bug.

doc/reference_manual.texi:
	Replaced an old example that didn't know what it was talking about,
	and thoroughly confused the issue of what is legal use of state
	variables and what is not.

compiler/state_var.m:
	Rewrite this module along the lines mentioned above.

compiler/options.m:
	Add two new options. One, warn-state-var-shadowing, controls whether
	we generate warnings for one state var shadowing another (which
	G12 has lots of). The other, --allow-defn-for-builtins, is for
	developers only; it is needed to bootstrap changes that add new
	builtins. I needed this for a form of the state variable transformation
	that used calls to a new builtin predicate to copy the values of state
	variables in branches that did not modify them, even though other
	branches did. I ultimately used unifications to do this copying,
	for reasons documented in state_var.m.

compiler/add_clause.m:
compiler/add_pragma.m:
	Respect the new --allow-defn-for-builtins option.
	(Previously, we changed the code that now looks up the value of the
	option.)

doc/user_guide.texi:
	Document the --warn-state-var-shadowing option.

	Fix some old documentation about dump options.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Fix an old oversight: list the predicates in table_builtin.m that may
	have calls introduced to them by table_gen.m.

compiler/superhomogeneous.m:
compiler/field_access.m:
compiler/add_clause.m:
compiler/goal_expr_to_goal.m:
	Together with state_var.m, these modules contain the transformation
	from the parse tree to the HLDS. Since the change to state_var.m
	involves significant changes in its interface (such as separating out
	the persistent and location-dependent aspects of the information needed
	by the state variable transformation), and needing callbacks at
	different points than the old transformation, these modules had to
	change extensively as well to conform.

	goal_expr_to_goal.m is a new module carved out of add_clause.m.
	It deserves a module of its own because its code has a significantly
	different purpose than add_clause.m. The two separate modules each
	have much better cohesion than the old conjoined module did.

	In superhomogeneous.m, replace two predicates that did the same thing
	with one predicate.

compiler/make_hlds.m:
compiler/notes/compiler_design.html.m:
	Mention the new module.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Add a mechanism to do the kind of incremental renaming that the state
	variable transformation needs.

	Add some utility predicates needed by the new code in other modules.

compiler/hlds_clause.m:
compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add an extra piece of information to clauses and proc_infos:
	a list of informational messages generated by the state variable
	transformation about some branches of branched goals not giving initial
	values to some state variables, while other branches do.

	The state variable transformation fills in this field in clauses
	where relevant.

compiler/clause_to_proc.m:
	Copy this list of messages from clauses to proc_infos.

compiler/modes.m:
	When generating an error message for a procedure, include this list
	of messages from the state var transformation in the output.

compiler/handle_options.m:
	Add a dump alias for debugging the state var transformation.

compiler/hlds_out_goal.m:
	Add a predicate that is useful in trace messages when debugging
	the compiler.

compiler/hlds_out_pred.m:
	Print goal path and goal id information in clauses as well as
	proc_infos, since the state var transformation now uses goal ids.

compiler/prog_item.m:
	In lists of quantified vars in scope headers, separate out the vars
	introduced as !S from those introduced as !.S and !:S. This makes it
	easier for the state var transformation to handle them.

	Document that we expect lists of quantified variables and state
	variables to contain no duplicates. The state var transformation
	is slightly simpler if we impose this requirement, and quantifying
	a variable twice in the same scope does not make sense, and is
	therefore almost certainly an error.

compiler/prog_io_util.m:
	Generate error messages when a variable or state variable IS
	listed twice in the same quantification list.

	Factor out some code used to generate error messages.

Estimated hours taken: 8
Branches: main

Make error messages for require_complete_switch scopes report the missing
functors.

Knowing which functors are missing requires knowing not only the set of
functors in the switched-on variable's type, but also which of these functors
have been eliminated by earlier tests, which requires having the instmap at
the point of entry to the switch. Simplification, which initially detected
unmet require_complete_switch requirements, does not have the instmap, and
threading the instmap through it would make it significantly less efficient.
So instead we now detect any problems with require_complete_switch scopes
(and require_detism scopes, which are similar) during determinism checking.

compiler/det_report.m:
	Factor out the code for finding the missing functors in conventional
	determinism errors, to allow it to be used for this new purpose.

a2cd0da5b3 The existing representation of goal_paths is suboptimal for several reasons.
Estimated hours taken: 80
Branches: main

The existing representation of goal_paths is suboptimal for several reasons.

- Sometimes we need forward goal paths (e.g. to look up goals), and sometimes
  we need reverse goal paths (e.g. when computing goal paths in the first
  place). We had two types for them, but

  - their names, goal_path and goal_path_consable, were not expressive, and
  - we could store only one of them in goal_infos.

- Testing whether goal A is a subgoal of goal B is quite error-prone using
  either form of goal paths.

- Using a goal path as a key in a map, which several compiler passes want to
  do, requires lots of expensive comparisons.

This diff replaces most uses of goal paths with goal ids. A goal id is an
integer, so it can be used as a key in faster maps, or even in arrays.
Every goal in the body of a procedure gets its id allocated in a depth first
search. Since we process each goal before we dive into is descendants,
the goal representing the whole body of a procedure always gets goal id 0.
The depth first traversal also builds up a map (the containing goal map)
that tells us the parent goal of ever subgoal, with the obvious exception
of the root goal itself. From the containing goal map, one can compute
both reverse and forward goal paths. It can also serve as the basis of an
efficient test of whether the goal identified by goal id A is an ancestor
of another goal identified by goal id B. We don't yet use this test,
but I expect we will in the future.

mdbcomp/program_representation.m:
	Add the goal_id type.

	Replace the existing goal_path and goal_path_consable types
	with two new types, forward_goal_path and reverse_goal_path.
	Since these now have wrappers around the list of goal path steps
	that identify each kind of goal path, it is now ok to expose their
	representations. This makes several compiler passes easier to code.

	Update the set of operations on goal paths to work on the new data
	structures.

	Add a couple of step types to represent lambdas and try goals.
	Their omission prior to this would have been a bug for constraint-based
	mode analysis, or any other compiler pass prior to the expansion out
	of lambda and try goals that wanted to use goal paths to identify
	subgoals.

c509c49bdc Add a mechanism for generating warnings when the various clauses of a predicate
Estimated hours taken: 24
Branches: main

Add a mechanism for generating warnings when the various clauses of a predicate
or function are not contiguous.

This mechanism consists of two options:

	--warn-non-contiguous-clauses
	--warn-non-contiguous-foreign-procs

The first option generates warnings when the Mercury clauses of a predicate
or function are not contiguous, but it ignores any foreign_procs of that
predicate or function, and thus allows these to be away from the Mercury
clauses and each other. This option is enabled by default.

The second option generating warnings unless both the Mercury clauses and
all the foreign_procs of the predicate or function are all contiguous.
This option is not enabled by default, because many library modules
group foreign_procs not by predicate, but by foreign language. (All C foreign
procs for a group of predicates, then all the Java foreign procs for that group
of predicates, etc.)

compiler/hlds_clauses.m:
	Store, next to the representation of each clause list, information
	about the locations (item numbers and context) of the clauses.
	We store two versions of this information, one version for each option.

	Make the predicates that access the clause list access the location
	information as well, to ensure that any code that adds clauses also
	records their location.

	Add a predicate that tests for non-contiguity.

	Add a specific type to represent the modes that a clause applies to.
	This replaces the error-prone scheme we used to use that represented
	the notion "this clause applies to all modes" with an empty list of
	modes. This allows us to remove the code in add_pragma.m that used
	to replace these empty lists with the list of actual modes they
	represented.

	Change the prefix on the fields of clauses_info to avoid ambiguities.
	Add a prefix to the names of the function symbols of the clauses_rep
	type to avoid ambiguities.

compiler/add_clause.m:
compiler/add_pragma.m:
	When adding Mercury clauses and pragma foreign_procs to a predicate or
	function, record the location of the clause or foreign_procs. We do so
	even if the clause or foreign_proc is overridden by another. For
	example, when compiling to C, a Mercury clause overrides an Erlang
	foreign_proc, and a C foreign_proc overrides a Mercury clause.

	Fix an old bug where a foreign_proc that should override Mercury
	clauses overrode only one Mercury clause, and left the others
	in the predicate, to yield a disjunction with some Mercury disjuncts
	and a foreign_proc disjunct. This disjunction would then yield
	determinism errors if it had outputs.

	The new code that fixes the bug has a much more direct implicit
	correctness argument, and should be significantly easier to understand.
	It also avoids doing unnecessary work. (The old code could make a
	decision to ignore a clause, yet still proceed to transform it,
	just to ignore the result of the transformation.)

Add support for `try' goals, syntactic sugar on top of the exception handling
predicates in the standard library.  The syntax is documented in the reference
manual.  Currently one of the proposed try parameters, io(!IO), is implemented.

edda5238a1 Fix two bugs preventing the use of or_else alternatives to atomic
transaction scopes and nested atomic scopes.

The main issue was the code assuming that the inner stm interface variables
were the same for the main goal and the or_else goals, but quantification
renames these variables to be distinct.


library/stm_builtin.m
    Rename stm_from_outer_to_inner_io and stm_from_inner_to_outer_io, dropping
    the _io suffix. They are used when the outer type is stm as well as io.

compiler/hlds_goal.m
    Add a field to the atomic_goal structure to hold the names of the STM
    interface variables used in each or_else alternative, since quantification
    renames these variables to be distinct from those used in the main atomic
    goal.

compiler/purity.m
    Insert calls to the (renamed) dummy predicates stm_from_outer_to_inner and
    stm_from_inner_to_outer regardless of the type of the outer variable,
    instead of using the nonexistent stm_from_*_to_*_stm versions when the
    outer type is stm. Also use the inner STM interface variables specific to
    each or_else alternative when generating these calls.

compiler/quantification.m
    Explicitly rename the inner STM interface variables in each of the or_else
    alternatives before calling implicitly_quantify_disj, so that the new names
    of these variables can be stored in the atomic_goal structure.

compiler/typecheck.m
    Ensure all the inner STM interface variables are typed stm, not just the
    ones in the main goal.

5ad9a27793 Speed up the compiler's handling of code that constructs large ground terms
Estimated hours taken: 80
Branches: main

Speed up the compiler's handling of code that constructs large ground terms
by specializing the treatment of such code.

This diff reduces the compilation time for training_cars_full.m from 106.9
seconds to 30.3 seconds on alys, my laptop. The time on tools/speedtest
stays pretty much the same.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Record the classification of from_ground_term scopes as purely
	constructing terms, purely deconstructing them or something other.

	Fix an old potential bug: variables inside the construct_how fields
	of unifications weren't being renamed along with other variables.
	This is a bug if any part of the compiler later looks at those
	variables. (I am not sure whether or not this happens.)

compiler/superhomogenous.m:
	Provisionally mark newly constructed static terms as being
	from_ground_term_construct. Mode checking will either confirm this
	or change the scope kind.

compiler/options.m:
compiler/handle_options.m:
	Add a new option, from_ground_term_threshold, that allows the user to
	set the boundary between ground terms that get scopes and ground terms
	do not. I plan to experiment with different settings later.

compiler/modes.m:
	Make this classification. For scopes that construct ground terms,
	use a specialized algorithm that avoids quadratic behavior.
	(It does not access the unify_inst_table, which is where the
	factor of N other than the length of the goal list came from.)
	The total size of the instmap_deltas, if printed out, still looks like
	O(N^2) in size, but due to structure sharing it needs only O(N) memory.

	For scopes that construct ground terms, set the determinism information
	so that det_analysis.m doesn't have to traverse such scopes.

	When handling disjunctions, check whether some nonlocals of the
	disjunctions are constructed by from_ground_term_construct scopes.
	For any such nonlocals, set their insts to just ground, throwing away
	the precise information we have about exactly what function symbols
	they and ALL their subterms are bound to. This is HUGE win, since
	it allows us avoid spending a lot of time building a huge merge_inst
	table, which later passes of the compiler (e.g. equiv_type_hlds) would
	then have to spend similarly huge times traversing.

	This approach does have a down side. If lots of arms of a disjunction
	bind a nonlocal to a large ground term, but a few bind it to a SMALL
	ground term, a term below the from_ground_term_threshold, this
	optimization won't kick in. That could be one purpose of the new
	option. It isn't documented yet; I will seek feedback about its
	usefulness first.

compiler/modecheck_unify.m:
	Handle the three different kinds of right hand sides separately.
	This yields a small speedup, because now we don't test rhs_vars and
	rhs_functors (the common right hand sides) for a special case
	(goals containing "any" insts) that is applicable only to
	rhs_lambda_goals.

compiler/unique_modes.m:
	Don't traverse scopes that construct ground terms, since modes.m has
	already done everything that needs to be done.

compiler/det_analysis.m:
	Don't traverse scopes that construct ground terms, since modes.m has
	already done the needed work.

compiler/instmap.m:
	Add a new predicate for use by modes.m.

	Many predicate names in this module were quite uninformative; give them
	informative names.

compiler/polymorphism.m:
	If this pass invalidates the from_ground_term_construct invariants,
	then mark the relevant scope as from_ground_term_other.

	Delete two unused access predicates.

compiler/equiv_type_hlds.m:
	Don't traverse scopes that construct ground terms, since modes.m
	ensures that their instmap deltas do not contain typed insts, and
	thus the scope cannot contain types that need to be expanded.

	Convert some predicates to single clauses.

compiler/goal_form.m:
compiler/goal_util.m:
	In predicates that test goals for various properties, don't traverse
	scopes that construct ground terms when the outcome of the test
	is the same for all such scopes.

	Convert some predicates to single clauses.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Do not look for common structs in from_ground_term_construct scopes,
	both because this speeds up the compiler, and because retaining
	references to ground terms is in fact a pessimization, not an
	optimization. This is because (a) those references need to be stored in
	stack slots across calls, and (b) the C code generators ensure that
	the cells representing ground terms will be shared as needed.

	If all arms of a switch are from_ground_term_construct scopes,
	do not merge the instmap_deltas from those arms, since this is
	both time-consuming (even after the other changes in this diff)
	and extremely unlikely to improve the instmap_delta.

	Disable common_struct in from_ground_term_construct scopes,
	since for these scopes, it is actually a pessimization.

	Do not delete from_ground_term_construct scopes, since many
	compiler passes can now use them.

	Do some manual deforestation, break up some large predicates,
	and give better names to some.

compiler/liveness.m
	Special-case the handling from_ground_term_construct scopes. This
	allows us to traverse them just once instead of three times, and this
	traversal is simpler and faster than any of the three.

	In some traversals, we were switching on the goal type twice; once
	in e.g. detect_liveness_in_goal_2, and once by calling
	goal_expr_has_subgoals. Eliminate the double switching by merging
	the relevant predicates. (The double-switching structure was easier
	to work with before we had multi-cons-id switches.)

compiler/typecheck.m:
	Move a lookup after a test, so we don't have to do it if the test
	fails.

	Provide a specialized mode for a predicate. This should allow the
	compiler to eliminate an argument and a test in the common case.

	Note a possible chance for a speedup.

compiler/typecheck_info.m:
	Don't apply empty substitutions to the types of a possibly very large
	set of variables.

compiler/quantification.m:
	Don't quantify from_ground_term_construct scopes. They are created
	correctly quantified, and any compiler pass that invalidates that
	quantification also removes the from_ground_term_construct mark.

	Don't apply empty renamings to a possibly very large set of variables.

	Move the code for handling scopes to its own predicate, to avoid
	overwhelming the code that handles other kinds of goals. Even from
	this, factor out the renaming code, since it is needed only for
	some kinds of scopes.

	Make some predicate names better reflect what the predicate does.

compiler/pd_cost.m:
	For from_ground_term_construct scopes, instead of computing their cost
	by adding up the costs of the goals inside, make their cost a constant,
	since binding a variable to a static term takes constant time.

compiler/pd_info.m:
	Add prefixes on field names to avoid ambiguities.

	In loop_inv.m, replace a code structure that updated accumulators

	that in lots of places reconstructed the term it had just
	deconstructed, and obscured the identical handling of different kinds
	of goals, with a structure based on predicates, state variables and

Change the representation of goal paths to use cords of steps instead of lists
of steps. With the list of steps representation, we always had to worry about
whether the list was reversed or not, since the usual operations on goal paths

disappears.

27aaaf412c Fix the failure of the invalid/modes_erroneous test case, whose symptom was
Estimated hours taken: 5
Branches: main

Fix the failure of the invalid/modes_erroneous test case, whose symptom was
an error message about a "mode error in unification of `X' and `X'".
The root cause of the problem was that the renaming of head variables
computed by headvar_names.m was being applied too early, during typechecking.
The fix is to apply it after the frontend (all the passes that can generate
error messages).

To avoid slowdowns from larger pred_infos, this diff also moves the least
frequently used fields of pred_infos to a subterm. (Proc_infos already had
a subterm.) This leads to an almost 3% speedup.

compiler/headvar_names.m:
	Store the renaming instead of applying it.

compiler/simplify.m:
	Apply the renaming in invocations after the front end, since doing so
	may allow some excess assignments to be eliminated.

compiler/hlds_pred.m:
	Add fields to pred_infos and proc_infos for the renaming.

	Move the least frequently used fields of pred_infos into a
	pred_sub_info.

	Some fields of pred_infos were being accessed using predicates
	that did not follow our naming conventions, and some were accessed
	using field access functions that are now inappropriate; fix them all.

	Require the caller to provide the renaming when creating new pred_infos
	and proc_infos. This is to force the compiler components that do this
	to propagate the renaming fields of the original predicates and/or
	procedures to their modified versions.

	Convert that some old code that used if-then-elses to use switches
	instead.

	Write out the new pred_info and proc_info fields.

ba93a52fe7 This diff changes a few types from being defined as equivalent to a pair
Estimated hours taken: 10
Branches: main

This diff changes a few types from being defined as equivalent to a pair
to being discriminated union types with their own function symbol. This
was motivated by an error message (one of many, but the one that broke
the camel's back) about "-" being used in an ambiguous manner. It will
reduce the number of such messages in the future, and will make compiler
data structures easier to inspect in the debugger.

The most important type changed by far is hlds_goal, whose function symbol
is now "hlds_goal". Second and third in importance are llds.instruction
(function symbol "llds_instr") and prog_item.m's item_and_context (function
symbol "item_and_context"). There are some others as well.

In several places, I rearranged predicates to factor the deconstruction of
goals into hlds_goal_expr and hlds_goal_into out of each clause into a single
point. In many places, I changed variable names that used "Goal" to refer
to just hlds_goal_exprs to use "GoalExpr" instead. I also changed variable
names that used "Item" to refer to item_and_contexts to use "ItemAndContext"
instead. This should make reading such code less confusing.

I renamed some function symbols and predicates to avoid ambiguities.

I only made one algorithmic change (at least intentionally).
In assertion.m, comparing two goals for equality now ignores goal_infos
for all kinds of goals, whereas previously it ignored them for most kinds
of goals, but for shorthand goals it was insisting on them being equal.
This seemed to me to be a bug. Pete, can you confirm this?

Implement a large chunk of the code that was previously missing for .mmos

	Provide a mechanism whereby table_gen.m can communicate to proc_gen.m
	the requirement for this special return.

compiler/trace_gen.m:

	may be called from a few handwritten modules in the runtime.

	Rename a function to avoid a clash with the name of a macro,
	and thus allow the change to mercury_goto.h.

runtime/mercury_goto.h:
	Fix a bug with MR_init_entry_an. This macro was supposed to always
	insert the entry label that is its argument into the entry table,
	but instead of calling the function it was meant to call, it called
	a macro that could be (and usually way) defined to expand to nothing.

	The fix is to call the function a different name than the macro,
	and to call the function, not the macro.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
	In own stack minimal model grades, create a main context separate
	from the current context, since the current context may be needed

	previous event, since the event numbers in different contexts are
	not related). As before, GOTO always goes to the specified event
	number, but in .dmmos grades it can now be told that this event number
	should be matched only in a specified context. The specification is
	done by an extra argument specifying the short name of the context's
	generator; the ansence of such an argument means the main context.

trace/mercury_trace_cmd_internal.c:
	In own stack grades, when the current context is that of a generator,
	print the subgoal the generator is working on before the event number,
	call depth, call sequence number and the rest of the event report.

9d23d8e2e7 Implement the trace goal construct we discussed, for now for the LLDS backends
Estimated hours taken: 70
Branches: main

Implement the trace goal construct we discussed, for now for the LLDS backends
only.

Since the syntax of trace goals is non-trivial, useful feedback on syntax
errors inside trace goal attributes is essential. With the previous setup, this
wasn't possible, since the code that turned terms into parse tree goals turned
*all* terms into goals; it couldn't recognize any errors, sweeping them under
the rug as calls. This diff changes that. Now, if this code recognizes a
keyword that indicates a particular construct, it insists on the rest of the
code following the syntax required for that construct, and returns error
messages if it doesn't.

We handle the trace goal attributes that specify state variables to be threaded
through the trace goal (either the I/O state or a mutable variable) in
add_clause.m, at the point at which we transform the list of items to the HLDS.
We handle the compile-time condition on trace goals in the invocation of
simplify at the end of semantics analysis, by eliminating the goal if the
compile-time condition isn't met. We handle run-time conditions on trace goals
partially in the same invocation of simplify: we transform trace goals with
runtime conditions into an if-then-else with the trace goal as the then part
and `true' as the else part, the condition being a foreign_proc that is handled
specially by the code generator, that special handling being to replace
the actual code of the foreign_proc (which is a dummy) with the evaluation of
the runtime condition.

Since these changes require significant changes to some of our key data
structures, I took the liberty of doing some renaming of function symbols
at the same time to avoid using ambiguities with respect to language keywords.

library/ops.m:
	Add "trace" as an operator.

compiler/prog_data.m:
	Define data types to represent the various attributes of trace goals.

	Rename some function symbols to avoid ambiguities.

compiler/prog_item.m:
	Extend the parse tree representation of goals with a trace goal.

compiler/mercury_to_mercury.m:
	Output the new kind of goal and its components.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Extend the HLDS representation of scopes with a scope_reason
	representing trace goals.

	Add a mechanism (an extra argument in foreign_procs) to allow
	the representation of goals that evaluate runtime trace conditions.

	Since this requires modifying all code that traverses the HLDS,
	do some renames that were long overdue: rename not as negation,
	rename call as plain_call, and rename foreign_proc as
	call_foreign_proc. These renames all avoid using language keywords
	as function symbols.

	Change the way we record goals' purities. Instead of optional features
	to indicate impure or semipure, which is error-prone, use a plain
	field in the goal_info, accessed in the usual way.

	Add a way to represent that a goal contains a trace goal, and should
	therefore be treated as if it were impure when considering whether to
	optimize it away.

	Reformat some comments describing function symbols.

compiler/hlds_out.m:
	Output the new construct in the HLDS.

compiler/prog_io_util.m:
	Generalize the maybe[123] types to allow the representation of more
	than one error message. Add functions to extract the error messages.
	Add a maybe4 type. Rename the function symbols of these types to
	avoid massive ambiguity.

	Change the order of some predicates to bring related predicates

	code.

	In prog_io_goal.m, add code for parsing trace goals.

	In a bunch of places, update obsolete coding practices, such as using
	nested chains of closures instead of simple sequential code, and
	using A0 and A to refer to values of different types (terms and goals
	respectively). Use more meaningful variable names.

	Break up some too-large predicates.

44c778b15a Bugfixes for constraints based mode analysis (propagation solver).
Estimated hours taken: 35
Branch: main.

Bugfixes for constraints based mode analysis (propagation solver).

Fix a bug where the producer/consumer analysis was failing when implied modes
were required in predicate calls. Appropriate unifications are now generated
so as to allow for such calls.

Fix a bug where conservative approximation of nonlocals sets was leading
analysis to assume a goal consumed a variable it didn't actually use. This was
fixed by running a requantification before processing a module.

Finally, the transformation to hhf was leaving some nonlocals sets inaccurate,
so some producing/consuming conjuncts for certain program variables were being
ignored, resulting in a failure in producer/consumer analysis. This was fixed
by no longer transforming to hhf for the propagation solver constraints
based mode analysis. This is fine for now, because the current version
uses only simple constraints and doesn't need hhf. However, if it is going
to be extended to the full constraints system (that handles subtyping and
partial instantiation) the transformation to hhf will have to be used,
and the nonlocals sets bug fixed.

compiler/handle_options.m
	Added option implications since the antecedents do nothing
	without the consequents:
	debug_mode_constraints -> prop_mode_constraints
	simple_mode_constraints -> mode_constraints

compiler/mercury_compile.m
	The results of constraints based mode analysis are no longer
	discarded - they are now passed on to the rest of the compiler.
	The original mode analysis can now finish anything constraints
	based mode analysis hasn't done, but it shouldn't have to do
	any reordering of conjunctions.

compiler/mode_constraints.m
	When the propagation solver is used, the transformation to HHF
	no longer occurs, and unifications are generated to allow for
	use of implied modes in predicate calls. Then, the module is
	requantified to make nonlocals sets more accurate.

compiler/prop_mode_constraints.m:
	Implemented a HLDS tranformation that introduces unifications
	to allow constraints based mode analysis to consider implied
	modes in predicate calls.

tests/valid/Mmakefile:
	Included some regression tests for these bugs, and some fairly
	large modules that the analysis currently runs correctly on.

tests/valid/Mercury-options:
	Included the option --prop-mode-constraints for the new tests.

tests/valid/mc_bag.m:
tests/valid/mc_graph.m:
	Reasonably large tests taken and modified from the standard library
	that the propagation solver approach to constraints based mode
	analysis currently runs correctly on.

tests/valid/mc_extra_nonlocals.m:
tests/valid/mc_hhf_nonlocals_bug.m:
tests/valid/mc_implied_modes.m:
	Small tests that used to fail under the above bugs.

5b8f96f61d Prepare for an extension of promise_equivalent_solutions that will allow us
Estimated hours taken: 5
Branches: main

Prepare for an extension of promise_equivalent_solutions that will allow us
to better handle values of user-defined types. The problem is that currently,
the deconstruction of a value of such a type can be followed only by code that
cannot fail, otherwise the cc_multi deconstruction is not in the required
single-solution context. If the following code is naturally semidet, this
can be worked around by turning it into det code returning a maybe and testing
the maybe outside the promise_equivalent_solutions, but this is inefficient,
and in any case it does not generalize to nondet code without even more
horrendous inefficiency and inconvenience. (You have to create a nondet closure
and call it outside the promise_equivalent_solutions.)

The solution I came up with is something is to have a construct that contains

	- a list of deconstructions on types with user-defined equality,
	- a goal, and
	- the list of outputs of that goal.

The idea is that this would be transformed into a conjunction of the first and
second items, and wrapped inside a special kind of conj that provides a scope
for the implicit promise, which is that the set of solutions of the goal in
the second item doesn't depend on what concrete terms the deconstructions
in the first item return out of the set of concrete terms they *could* return.
The deconstructions in the first item would be marked to tell determinism
analysis to effectively ignore the fact that they involve user-defined
equality.

The actual addition of that construct is left for a future change, after we
agree on the syntax.

compiler/hlds_goal.m:
	Generalize the existing promise_equivalent_solutions scope to a
	promise_solutions scope with a flag that says whether in the source
	code it was originally the existing "promise_equivalent_solutions"
	construct or the new construct (which doesn't exist yet, but is
	indicated by the symbol "same_solutions" for now).

	Replace the conj and par_conj hlds_goal_exprs with a single goal
	expression: conj with an additional argument which is either plain_conj
	or parallel_conj. This was part of an earlier design in which a third
	kind of disjunction took the role now assigned to the new kind of
	promise_solutions scope, but turned out to be a good idea anyway,
	since in many places the compiler does treat the two kinds of
	conjunctions the same. This part of the change is responsible for the
	fact that this change results in a net *reduction* of about 40 lines.

	Move the most frequently used kinds of goal expressions to the front
	of the type declaration to allow the compiler to make better decisions
	about tag allocation.

	Add the goal marker we will add to the deconstructions in the first
	item.

	Replace the true_goal and fail_goal predicates with functions to make
	them easier to use, and rename their variants that take a context
	argument to avoid unnecessary ambiguity.

compiler/*.m:
	Conform to the change in hlds_goal.m.

	Misc changes to make code more robust, e.g. replacing semidet
	predicates on goal expressions with functions returning bool.

	Misc cleanups, e.g. removal of unnecessary module qualifications
	that made lines too long, renaming predicates whose names include
	"disj" if they are also used to process parallel conjunctions (since in
	both parallel conjunctions and in disjunctions the goals are
	independent), and turning semidet predicates that switch on goal
	expressions into bool functions (to make similar changes more rebust
	in the future).
